Modern Throwback

What a weekend for 2013
McGladrey Classic winner, Chris
Kirk, who won last week’s Crowne Plaza
Invitational! We’re proud of you, Chris, and are glad to have you as a member
of the extended McGladrey Classic “family”!

This week, Team McGladrey
Member Zach
Johnson and other members of our extended family are in Irving, TX for the
AT&T Byron Nelson tournament. Zach is in good company with past McGladrey
Classic winners Heath Slocum (2010), Ben
Crane (2011) and Tommy
“Two Gloves” Gainey (2012) all playing in this year’s tournament. Zach teed
off at 8 a.m., CT, from tee No. 10; from tee No. 1, Heath teed off at 8:10
a.m.; teeing off at 12:40 p.m., were both Tommy (at tee No. 1) and Ben was (from
No. 10). Best of luck to all of our “guys”! We’ve got our fingers crossed for
good weather for the weekend!

Remember: starting next
Monday (June 1), registration will be open for NEW volunteers for the 2015
McGladrey Classic! To sign up to help during this year’s tournament at
beautiful Sea Island, visit https://www.dlfvolunteers.com

McGladrey Classic’s Volunteer
Registration page and get added to the communication list!

Speaking of The McGladrey Classic, a great article was
featured in Sea
Island Life on how the game of golf is completely different due to today’s technology,
instructions and athletes. It’s a great read, and even provides breakdown of
modern golfers’ swings – including the one and only – Team McGladrey Member
Zach Johnson! Read
the article here [page 18].

And taking a step back in
time, we thought our readers would enjoy a little #ThrowBackThursday. Check out
this picture of the original clubhouse at Sea Island Golf Club. [Photo credit:
Sea Island Resorts] It’s changed quite a bit, but has kept its classic and Southern
style. We are very fortunate to call Sea Island home to the McGladrey Classic, and are looking
forward to returning to the island for this year’s tournament in November.
Between now and then, be sure to check back each week for more updates on Team
McGladrey and the 2015 McGladrey Classic [Nov. 16-22].
